I personally wouldn't. The site looks nice enough, but it's not
freeware, and Mac's don't need to be "defragged".
As far as Minecraft goes, I had a lot of freezing and crashing going
on recently until I ran OnyX. I would recommend OnyX for any Mac.
Being that Minecraft is unfortunately a Java game. Java is a very
fickle creature.
A slower (1mb) connection is going to lag any newer game.
I'm with you, he shouldn't need admin privileges, heck, I barely
need them and it's my own Mac!
Latest OnyX for Intel's can be had here:

My 13 y.o. wants to use this to speed up his Mac.
Is it kosher? It was going to defrag and my understanding
is that Macs don't need defragging.
He also wants admin privileges for his Mac. I say no cuz
I want to vet any software he gets it into his head to install.
I looked at his HD and About My Mac to do the fatiguing
exercise of ascertaining why the computer has lags from time
to time while he plays Minecraft online.
I didn't buy the computer for online gaming, and our cable
connection is only 1mbps. In addition <whine>I need to reduce
expenses, not add to them, so it's not likely to go up.</whine>
Anybody a gamer and can give some insight into what types
of things slow down a computer? He says it's a Java game.
